Hey there! Builders, you'll be excited to know that the NAHB International Builders' Show (IBS) is coming up soon! In 2024, the show will feature over 1,700 exhibitors, with 45% of them being new. There are exciting changes in store this year, and we’re excited to highlight a few! This blog is your go-to guide to understanding how to get the most out of your three days in Vegas.
What's New in 2024:
Pre-Show Learning Symposiums
Join a symposium before the show and engage with the best education and content experts in the field. Spend the day with a small group, where you can chat about challenges and best practices with your peers. There are two options: The Building Science Symposium and the Remodeling Symposium. Both are full-day programs led by experienced professionals and packed with valuable insights. You'll have a great time and learn a lot. Don't miss it!
Going Back to Basics with Design & Construction Week
IBS is bringing back Design & Construction Week, which will include IBS and NKBA’s Kitchen & Bath Industry Show. Rather than 5 shows that occurred in the past, NAHB is making it much simpler for attendees to experience two shows.
Segmentation of the Exhibit Floor
A new layout strategy called Segmentation groups similar exhibitors into six categories. Attendees can find complementary products and services, navigate the show floor more efficiently, and connect with other professionals who share their interests.
